Investigation has indicated that at approximately 5:15 A.M., December 1, 2013, a Ford pick-up was northbound on Colborne Road approaching Michigan Avenue at a high rate of speed. The truck collided with two light standards on the east side of the intersection causing extensive damage.
The pick-up was found on Colborne Road about 300 to 400 meters north of Michigan Avenue also with extensive damage. The vehicle was abandoned. Police are searching for the registered owner of the vehicle.
Shortly before this collision, police received a call from a concerned motorist about a pick-up that was driving erratically in the London and Indian Roads area. The caller had followed the truck west on London Road from Indian Road and north on Christina Street from London Road. The caller lost the suspect vehicle on Christina and Maxwell Streets. The caller was keeping a safe distance due to the erratic manner in which the truck was being driven.
A few moments after this, the collision at Colborne Road and Michigan Avenue was reported. Police are still on scene investigating the collision and the intersection is blocked off.
Police are asking any person who has information in regards to this driving complaint and/or the collision to call them at 519-344-8861.
